Sedimentation

Sedimentation testing

We compare how materials and flocculation conditions respond through tests with documented preparation and measurement.

When it applies

Flocculant consumption changes or a laboratory result cannot be reproduced in the plant.

Starting information

  • Samples and conditions of representativeness
  • Process water and reagent preparation
  • Protocol, tested dosages and settling records

Proposed work

We define test conditions and compare settling, clarity and compaction within the agreed scope. We evaluate which differences in mixing and scale require plant validation.

Deliverable

A comparative test report with test conditions, measured results and transfer limits.

Plant trials, equipment installation and control changes require a specific scope and authorisation. This description does not replace operating procedures.
